As I sat down, catching my breath, my mind immediately became as calm as a clear lake. In that stillness, I experienced a sense close to the certainty of being able to freely handle my emotions. Instead of suppressing or rejecting them, I gently embraced them as they were, and soon they spread into a power capable of embracing and healing even the wounds of others. It was as if my heart had become a vast vessel, embracing even the pain of others, transforming it into light and releasing it.
